This is a list run by former Mormons and is for women only.

To subscribe, click here for XLDS Women .Many of these women are from the original
exmormon group and have years of experience in helping others in recovery. This is a
spinoff from the original list and highly recommended.

To subscribe: go to the above URL. The list description:"Mormons H(ave) M(y)
C(hild)" is a mutual support group for non-Mormon or ex-Mormon parents whose children
(of any age) are Mormon, and whose relationships with those children are suffering because
of the children's Mormonism. Because of the confidential and personal nature of the
matters that are likely to be discussed, membership in the list is limited to those who
are in that category, and to others who may be able to help them. All subscriptions must
therefore have the approval of the list owner/moderator. New as of July 2001.
